Don,

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Based on package's size, it likely didn't go thru normal distribution process, which is set up for small packages, and was manually handled each step of way.

If your local UPS sales rep can't help you resolve, would suggest calling customer service # and ask for the manager. You likely already have a case number. Let them know you will escalate. Then at least you have a trail when you contact an Executive. Would suggest reaching out to Calvin Darden, SVP Operations. You may have better luck with him then going after the CEO which likely has an office staff that handles this type of complaint for him...

Regards,
